K&n Oil Filters

[Omurru]

Does anyone know anywhere in Melb, pref northern suburbs that might have stock of K&N HP-2008 Oil Filters? I know none of the autobarns have any, i've got some on order through one but they always have to do special orders and get them in from the states, and it takes ages. Just wanted do a service while I am off work.

BTW, using K&N ones is just personal preference, i'm not going to use different ones

[Wheezy]

WTF no KNHP-2008's noobs

they get em out of rocket industries and also their own warehouse, 98% of the eastern shops ave em in stock....fancy a trip? Also u tried the city store?

[Omurru]

hmm didn't realise that you could get the K&N oil filters easily here. I have seen some ok reviews regarding flow and filter ability form them, funny enough the stock jap ones got better results. Go OEM.

Sif thats south.........south is phillip island, I could say east is traralgon too, perhaps sth east is agreeable

khunjeng:

The brilliance of the K&N is the 1" head on the end of the filter to remove the filter using a socket set

I will have to find it somewhere...saw it like 6 months ago. Probably from the BITOG forum...oil forum I'm a member of. From memory it was better than Ryco for both pressure and flow - which by the way, isn't hard cos Ryco always finish at the bottom.

I do know that K&N filters are made buy Champion Labs, who make M1 and other decent deisgns. Generally the K&N oil filters have good flow and not as good filtering.

Anyway filters are so varied and different depending on what factory made them. I have a Aussie Nissan filters in from of me now but may vary form my Jap version - and it seems to in a numbe rof ways see the link below:

I found this in my favourites about OEM Nissan filters

I think I remember seeing the comparisons you mentioned, just remember something about the k&n's being the highest flow but not best filtering. I change my oil every 3000k's so I figured i'd go for flow over filtering....i dunno it all just seems to ring a bell...

Sorry Kyle....did I use your last one?

yes

I have 1005 and 1007 for my oil coolers for the track 25tt and GTR.

[Omurru]

What uses the the 2008?

It's the one rb engines use as far as I was aware......

[GTRgeoff]

Ahh right so I probably have one in the GTR (that they had on the shelf) but the oil cooler kits nedded the other ones.

[Wheezy]

Im looking at one right now on the shelf......told ya SE always had em

[Wheezy]

So how did ya go?

[Omurru]

Epping had 1 in for my order that they recieved the day I wanted one so just went and got that.....still waiting for some more to arrive, no rush now whenever they come i'll go get them......

the 1" head has to be the best invention they've come up with..see its not just the japs that are smart!
